Breakfast meetings and an event with Alex Buono

Happy Mother's Day WEEK! Hope you all had a good day celebrating with family, clients, or reminiscing with love.

I know a few of us are PPA and ASMP members. I just want to notify you of two ASMP happenings.

First, Alex Buono of "Saturday Night Live" fame and a Canon Explorer of Light, is speaking this Wednesday in Allston. More info is available on the ASMP New England site: <http://asmpne.org/>. I've heard he gives a terrific presentation.

At our last PPAM event at Levine's (with Bob Davis -- great talk) I also mentioned the monthly breakfasts ASMP has initiated. These have been well received; all professional photographers are invited. (ASMP membership is not required or preached.) Each region's meeting has its own character, but the goals include collegiality, fun and information sharing to help preserve the profession. I host one in Marshfield for the South Shore and some Cape photogs. If you're interested you can check updated times and announcements on the ASMP New England FB page or <http://asmpne.org/articles/breakfast-clubs.html>.

I'd love to see more PPAM friends at our Marshfield breakfast (the third Friday of every month). We're also chatting about changing/adding an evening meeting. If you have questions or suggestions please let me know.

I hope this isn't out of place. I also hope you're all well and sleeping well after a sweet Mother's Day weekend.
